Hello. Failed to google a result (keyword: MIPS FLOPS Linux) here I ask
in the list. Wikipedia mention MIPS (million instructions per second)
and FLOPS (similar but calculate float point) for some of CPU
performance indicators. Is there some tool to benchmark this in Debian?
Thanks.

The so-called BogoMIPS are recorded every time you boot. Try

dmesg|grep Bog

to see the result. Google will probably lead you to an explanation of
what BogoMIPS are.

HTH,
David

Sure, I checked bogomips before posting a message to this list. I guess
it is not too relative to the original question as bogomips counts only
the instructions that does nothing. Or am I wrong?

I'm also with Stan on this one. For a general performance tool the
"spec" has been proven to be very valuable.

MIPS and FLOPS are artificial measurements that don't necessarily
relate to the actual applications you are running. Do a Google on
Linux Performance Testing to get a large list and select the tool or
tools that most closely match your application who's performance is
of interest.
